Add Y! Live to your Sidebar!

I’m pretty excited about Y! Live – fantastic technology! So I decided to go ahead and put it live in my sidebar! When I’m broadcasting, you can see me working at the ol’ laptop right in my sidebar. How did I do it? It took a little bit of work, but I figured it out.

The biggest hurdle to get over was that Yahoo!’s documentation had the URL incorrect to point to the actual broadcast!
